New investor looking at Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill areas

[Parker Stone]

Hi all!

As the subject says, I am a new investor looking to invest in the Triangle region of North Carolina. I've been an avid consumer of the BP blog, podcast and forums for some time now and am looking forward to finally taking action and engaging with the community. I was first motivated to learn more about real estate and passive income after seeing a layoff at the company I work for and realizing I don't want to rely solely on Corporate America for a bi-weekly paycheck. Ultimately, I would like to have a portfolio of cash flowing properties that would be able to cover my family's expenses should anything happen to my ability to work. The dream would be to create a real estate company with systems and processes in place so that I could manage it while traveling the world with my brother and sister. 

While I currently reside in New York City, I'm interested in investing in the Triangle region because of it's strong growth, tech-based economy (example of article in the link below) and my brother resides in Raleigh. I recently finished @David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" and am looking forward to using technology to build a great network in the Triangle area!

Looking forward to connecting with fellow investors and professionals to learn more about the Triangle area market!
